Ben Affleck is not a fan of his personal life being joked about!
In case you missed it, Mindy Kaling hosted part of the third night of the Democratic National Convention earlier this week, and she could not help but make a comment about the actor’s divorce from Jennifer Lopez while shouting out Massachusetts! She said at one point:
“I love you, Massachusetts! Everyone is always hating on us. But they just don’t get it. Go Sox! … Ben Affleck, hang in there! Dunkin’ Donuts, you’re the best coffee in the world.”

LOLz! Check out her hilarious speech (below):
Many undoubtedly chuckled at her remark. But you know who didn’t? Ben! According to a Dailymail.com source on Friday, the 52-year-old filmmaker was very disappointed Mindy would bring up his breakup with J.Lo at a political event:
“Though it was in the moment, though it was said in jest, when Ben found out that he was brought up at the DNC by Mindy, it was a full-face palm moment. The last place he would have ever expected and wanted to be talked about, especially about his divorce, would be at a political convention.”
While Ben doesn’t plan to publicly bash the comedian, he does hope his peers will refrain from talking about his personal business moving forward:
“He isn’t going to call out Mindy, but this was just a moment where he would love for people to know, especially ones that are meant to be his peers in Hollywood, to just not talk about his personal life.”
Ben apparently cannot take a joke! Yeesh! However, we all know how much the Gone Girl star values his privacy! Heck, it is one of the main reasons we have heard so far about why Ben and Jennnifer called it quits again! He grew sick of compromising on the fame matter! Yet you would think a harmless joke like the one Mindy made wouldn’t have bothered him as much, right? All she said was to “hang in there.” If anything, it was a very kind comment — especially in comparison to what folks on the internet have said about the divorce! But Ben didn’t see it that way it seems. Instead, The Office alum just caused him more of “a headache” with her “frustrating” joke! The Dailymail.com source continued:
“This will go away, and people will forget about it, but it’s just the constant talk about his relationship with JLo that is a main reason it didn’t work out this second time around. Ben values his privacy and to deal with adversity in the public eye is a stress filled situation for him and when people bring it up who are in his community, so to speak, is just frustrating. Even though Mindy wasn’t looking to cause a headache for Ben, she did provide one.”
Damn…
Despite his feelings over the matter, he doesn’t expect Mindy to apologize:
“He doesn’t want an apology, an excuse or anything, what was said is what was said, time to move on. He just wishes that he didn’t have to move on from anything at all. He just wants to be known for his work and being a great father, not from any mistakes or misfortune that happens in his life. Mindy did her thing, and he is refusing to make it a thing, it was a brief inconvenient moment to deal with, time to turn his attention to more important things in life.”
Let this be a warning to comedians: Don’t poke fun at Ben’s divorce drama. It turns out he cannot take the heat! Thoughts, Perezcious readers? Did you think Mindy’s joke was that bad? Sound OFF in the comments!
